Ingredients
  

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half, separating the top and bottom halves.
  • Make the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
